Poetry

 

The first time Ivory performed a poem publicly was in front of a 200 person audience and since then, her journey has continued to be unconventional, pushing the envelope of emotional artistry. She wrote, starred in, and produced the sensual short film Trust Fall, directed and produced by award winning director Assaf Ben Shetrit and co-starring Lanre Idewu. Trust Fall made its international debut at the 2022 International Poetry Film Festival in Athens, Greece.
